This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN201610318879.3, titled “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING SCREENSHOT-TYPE NOTE OF STREAMING DOCUMENT”, filed on May 13, 2016.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computer, and in particular, to a system and a method for processing a screenshot-type note of a streaming document.
The technique of storing and displaying a screenshot-type note in a fixed-layout document is to store a page number and in-page screen coordinates corresponding to a screenshot, and to display the screenshot-type note at the corresponding position.
When a screenshot is stored, absolute coordinates of the screenshot (a page number and in-page screen coordinates) of the screenshot in the fixed-layout document are sent back to a server, and stored in an entry corresponding to the note in a database. When the document is loaded, a port of the server is called, and absolute coordinates of all of the screenshot-type notes within the document are sent back. When a page of the fixed-layout document is rendered, the notes are displayed at the corresponding positions.
However, the storage technique of a screenshot-type note in a fixed-layout document is not suitable for a streaming document. That is because the streaming document may be re-formatted when being displayed, and in this case, the page numbers and the screen coordinates will change and the stored positions of the notes will be lost.
Therefore, there is a demand for a novel system and a method for processing a screenshot-type note for a streaming document.

The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
As shown in
At present, mobile reading applications generally support the storage and display of a text-type note in streaming documents, including a scribing line, a note, and the like. The storage method of a text-type note captures a position where a finger long press event and a sliding event occurs, correspond the position with a leaf node to a currently displayed streaming document, and stores the number of the corresponding leaf node and the relative position of the corresponding character in the leaf node as a parameter in an entry of the corresponding note stored in a database.
However, while the number of the leaf node and the relative position of the character in the node can be recorded for the text-type note, a non text-type node cannot be recognized, and a non text-type node refers to a node that does not contain a character, for example a picture node, an audio node, a video node, a FLASH node, and the like. The screenshot-type note is supported by non-text nodes. However, the screenshot-type note cannot directly obtain the node numbers and the relative positions of the characters of the streaming document.
The streaming document refers to a document containing texts, numbers, tables and graphic images that have been processed in a specific formatting manner. The stored content refers to original editing elements. The user can view the edited layout through reading software, and the document may be displayed in a scale automatically adapted to the size of the screen. When displayed on a small sized screen through an e-book reader, it is desirable to zoom in and then re-arrange the original layout, and to adjust the line breaks of the paragraphs according to the width of the screen, so as to adapt to the field of view of the single page.
The streaming document has a variety of leaf nodes, including: a text paragraph, a picture, a link, an audio control and a video. The link, span, div, p, and so on can be converted into text paragraphs, which can be taken as text nodes in the present disclosure. Therefore, a line scribing function is triggered when a scribing gesture appears in a text paragraph or a link.
The major difference of a fixed-layout document from a streaming layout is that the layout is fixed. During the reading process, the document is constantly displayed in the original layout. After scaling, the layout is not automatically re-formatted according to the page width, such as a PDF file made from the original picture manuscript obtained by scanning.
In an exemplary embodiment, the preset shape is a quadrilateral, and screen coordinates of the selected area are screen coordinates of four points of an upper left corner, an upper right corner, a lower left corner, and a lower right corner of the quadrilateral.
In an exemplary embodiment, the preset position is screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area.
In an exemplary embodiment, the note position calculation module 120 includes: a leaf node matching unit configured to calculate a distance between screen coordinates of the upper left corner and a leaf node in a current page of the streaming document, and take the leaf node with the minimum distance as the leaf node corresponding to the current screenshot-type note; a deciding unit configured to determine whether the corresponding leaf node is a text node; and a note position determining unit configured to: when the leaf node is a non-text node, take the node number corresponding to the leaf node as a relative position of the leaf node; when the leaf node is a text node, take the node number corresponding to the leaf node and a relative position of a character in the leaf node with the minimum distance to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner as the relative position of the leaf node.
In an exemplary embodiment, the note position determining unit includes: a row position calculation subunit configured to determine, according to a longitudinal distance between the screen coordinates of the upper left corner and a top of the leaf node and a line height of each row of the leaf node, a row position of the screen coordinates of the upper left corner in the leaf node; and a column position calculation subunit configured to determine, according to a lateral distance between the screen coordinates of the upper left corner and a leftmost of the leaf node and a horizontal width of each character of the leaf node, a character of the leaf node corresponding to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner.
In an exemplary embodiment, the note position determining unit further includes: a relative position calculation subunit configured to calculate a distance between the corresponding character and a first character of the leaf node, and take the distance as the relative position of the character in the leaf node.
A page in the mobile reading application is screenshot in a form of a picture, and after editing, the picture is stored as a screenshot-type note, as shown in
As shown in
In an exemplary embodiment, the system further includes a note input module 340, configured to receive note content input by the user in the selected area, and input the note content to the note information storage module. The note information storage module is configured to store the note position and the note content in association.
In an exemplary embodiment, the system further includes a note information display module 350 configured to display the note content at the note position.
The system of the embodiment of the present disclosure may include two parts: a client and a server. The client includes the gesture processing module 310, the note position calculation module 320, the note input module 340, and the note information display module 350. The server includes the note information storage module 330. It should be noted that the division of the modules included in the client and the server is not for limiting the disclosure, but is merely an exemplary illustration. For example, the gesture processing module 310, the note position calculation module 320, and the note information storage module 350 may all be disposed at the server.
The gesture processing module 310 is configured to process a gesture event generated when the user makes a screenshot-type note, and records the screen coordinates of the selected area to be sent to the note position calculation module 320. The note position calculation module 320 is configured to convert the screen coordinates of the selected area into a relative position of the screenshot-type note in the streaming document.
For example, in the case of a non-text node, the node number is selected as the note position; and in the case of a text node, the node number and a relative position of a character in the leaf node with the minimum distance to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area as the note position.
The note input module 340 is in communication with the note information storage module 330 at the server to transmit note content and note position information to the server. The note information display module 350 is in communication with the note information storage module 330 at the server, to send a note display request, and display the returned note content and the note position on the corresponding position of the streaming document.
The note information storage module 330 at the server is configured to store in association the note content and the note position transmitted from the client, and respond to the note display request sent by the client.
Other description in the embodiment of the present disclosure may refer to the description in the foregoing embodiment, details of which will not be repeated herein.
For displaying, the client needs to invoke a server interface. When loading the streaming document, the client first retrieves the positions of all the notes in the current document, and when rendering and laying out the current streaming document, the client displays scribing lines at the positions of the corresponding characters in the corresponding nodes, as shown in
As shown in
In an exemplary embodiment, the preset shape is a quadrilateral, and screen coordinates of the selected area are screen coordinates of four points of an upper left corner, an upper right corner, a lower left corner, and a lower right corner of the quadrilateral.
In step S520, the screen coordinates of the selected area of the preset shape are received, and the screen coordinates of a preset position in the selected area are converted to a relative position of a leaf node in the streaming document.
In an exemplary embodiment, the preset position is screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area.
In an exemplary embodiment, converting the screen coordinates of a preset position in the selected area to a relative position of a leaf node in the streaming document includes: calculating a distance between the screen coordinates of the upper left corner and a leaf node in a current page of the streaming document, and taking the leaf node with the minimum distance as the leaf node corresponding to the current screenshot-type note; determining whether the corresponding leaf node is a text node; and when the leaf node is a non-text node, taking the node number corresponding to the leaf node as a relative position of the leaf node; when the leaf node is a text node, taking the node number corresponding to the leaf node and a relative position of a character in the leaf node with the minimum distance to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner as the relative position of the leaf node.
In an exemplary embodiment, taking the node number of the leaf node corresponding to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner and a relative position of a corresponding character in the leaf node as the note position includes: determining, according to a longitudinal distance between the screen coordinates of the upper left corner and a top of the leaf node and a line height of each row of the leaf node, a row position of the screen coordinates of the upper left corner in the leaf node; determining, according to a lateral distance between the screen coordinates of the upper left corner and a leftmost of the leaf node and a horizontal width of each character of the leaf node, a character of the leaf node corresponding to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner; and calculating a distance between the corresponding character and a first character of the leaf node, and take the distance as the relative position of the character in the leaf node.
In step S530, the relative position of the leaf node and the screen coordinates of the selected area are stored as position information of the note.
In an exemplary embodiment, the method further includes: receiving note content input by the user in the selected area, and storing the note position and the note content in association at the server.
In an exemplary embodiment, the method further includes: sending, to the server, a request for returning all the note positions under the streaming document; when rendering a next page of the streaming document, if the page has a note, displaying a preset marker at a preset point of the corresponding not position; when receiving a click from the user on the preset marker, sending a request for returning corresponding note content to the server; and after receiving the note content returned from the server, displaying the note content at the note position of the streaming document in a predetermined form.
Other description in the embodiment of the present disclosure may refer to the description in the foregoing embodiment, details of which will not be repeated herein.
As shown in
In step S620, when the client detects that a certain position on the current interface of the streaming document is long pressed by the user with a finger or a stylus or the like, note options are called.
The gesture processing module at the client monitors a finger long press event, and when a finger long press event occurs, the note operation interface is called.
For example, a floating layer appears on the current interface of the streaming document, wherein the note options may include items such as “copy”, “scribing”, “note” and the like that are selectable by the user.
In step S630, “note” in the note options is clicked.
When the client detects that the user clicks on the “comments” option in the note options above, the process proceeds to the next step.
In step S640, a note selected box is displayed, and the size and position of the selected box are changeable by sliding.
The note selected box may be displayed on the current page of the streaming document, for example, the note selected box is a rectangle in shape. The user may drag the four corners or any of the four corners or any side of the rectangle to change the size and position of the selected box.
In step S650, it is determined whether the selected area is confirmed.
The gesture processing module at the client monitors a finger movement event, and when the finger stops moving and clicks an OK button, a prompting message is popped out to prompt confirmation on the selected area.
When the client detects that the user stops sliding the selected box, a prompt box is displayed on the current page of the streaming document for prompting the user to confirm the currently selected area, and the user may click the “OK” button or the “Cancel” button.
When the user clicks the “OK” button, the process proceeds to the next step; otherwise, when the user clicks the “Cancel” button, the process goes to step S6190.
In step S660, the selected area is confirmed.
The client confirms the current user selected area, and takes the text content in the selected box the streaming document as the original text corresponding to the screenshot-type note.
In step S670, the note is edited and stored.
After confirming the current user selected area, a note editing interface is entered, a note input module is presented in the corresponding position of the streaming document corresponding to the screenshot-type note, and the user may edit and store the note content of the original text corresponding to the screenshot-type note. After the process of adding a note at the foreground is finished, the stored note content and other information may be sent to the note information storage module 330 at the background.
In step S680, the gesture information is processed and the selected area is recorded.
While the user inputs the note content, the client processes the gesture information of the user, and records the screen coordinates of the selected area, such as screen coordinates of the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner, and the lower right corner of the rectangle, or a rectangular rectangle. Alternatively, the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the rectangle and the length and width of the sides of box are recorded, which is not limited in this disclosure, as long as the recorded information is sufficient to determine the position of the sides of the box.
The screen coordinate information of the four corners (the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner, and the lower right corner) of the selected area as confirmed are recorded and returned to the note position calculation module at the client.
In step S690, the coordinates and size of each leaf node of the current streaming document are calculated.
The note position calculation module at the client repeatedly calculates the coordinates and size of each leaf node (such as the number of each leaf node, the line height of the text node in the leaf node and the horizontal width of a character corresponding to the leaf node, the number of rows in the previous page of a leaf node spanning across pages, the number of rows in the current page, etc.) of the current streaming document while the user opens the streaming document or when it is firstly detected that the user intends to make a screenshot-type note on the current streaming document. For calculation of a text node, the leaf nodes are divided based on paragraphs, one paragraph corresponding to one leaf node. For example, the end of the paragraph may be determined based on the carriage return character at the end of the paragraph.
In step S6100, a position of a leaf node of the streaming document closest to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area is calculated.
The screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area as confirmed, are matched to the coordinates of each leaf node of the streaming document, and coordinates of the leaf node with the minimum physical distance to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area are determined. The leaf node at the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area with the minimum physical distance refers to the leaf node with the minimum physical linear distance to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area or the leaf node with the minimum lateral distance or the minimum longitudinal distance to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area. In an exemplary embodiment, the leaf node with the minimum physical distance to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner herein includes leaf nodes inside or outside the selected area. In another exemplary embodiment, the leaf node with the minimum physical distance to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner herein includes leaf nodes inside the selected area.
It should be noted that, although the embodiment of the present disclosure is described by taking the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area as an example, the present disclosure does not limit this. For example, the leaf node of the streaming document with the minimum distance to the screen coordinates of the upper right corner of the selected area may be selected as the leaf node corresponding to the screenshot-type note.
In step S6110, it is determined whether the leaf node of the streaming document closest to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area is a text node.
When the leaf node of the streaming document closest to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area is a non-text node, the process proceeds to the next step; otherwise, the process goes to step S6130.
In step S6120, the number of the non-text node is recorded as the note position.
When the leaf node of the streaming document closest to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area is a non-text node, the non-text node number of the corresponding leaf node of the streaming document is recorded as the note position.
If the leaf node is a non-text node, that is, a node that does not contain text, such as a picture node, an audio node, a video node, a FLASH node, etc., the node number of the leaf node is recorded as X, and the node number is sent to the note position calculation module at the client as the note position.
In step S6130, the number of the text node and the relative position of the character in the node are recorded as the note position.
When the leaf node of the streaming document closest to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area is a text node, the text node number of the corresponding leaf node of the streaming document and the relative position of the character in the node are recorded as the note position.
If the leaf node is a text node, the following operations are performed.
(1) A line height of the corresponding leaf node is calculated, such as the line-height attribute of cascading style sheets (CSS). Generally, the line height is the same for the same text leaf node.
(2) A longitudinal distance between the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area and the top of the leaf node is calculated. If the distance is a negative value, the first row of the leaf node is recorded as the corresponding row of the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area. When the leaf node spans across pages, the row number is the practical row number. If the distance is a positive value, the distance is divided by the line height to obtain the row number of the leaf node where the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area is located. If the obtained row number is larger than the total row number of the leaf node, or is larger than the total row number of the leaf node in the current page, the last row or the last row in the current page of the leaf node is recorded as the corresponding row.
When the leaf node spans across pages, the row number is the actual row number means that, when the leaf node spans across pages, for example, the leaf node includes 2 rows in the previous page, and 3 rows in the current page, and the calculation of the above step (2) obtains that the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area corresponding the second row of the leaf node in the current page, at this time, the actual row number of the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area corresponding to the leaf node is the 4th row, that is, further adding the two rows in the previous page.
(3) A horizontal width (CSS, lem width) of a character in the corresponding leaf node is calculated.
A horizontal distance between the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area and a left side of the leaf node. If the distance is a negative value, the first character on the row is recorded as the character corresponding to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area. If the distance is a positive value, the distance is divided by the horizontal width of a character, to obtain at which character in the row the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area is located. If the obtained number of characters is larger than the total number of the characters in the row, the last character in the row is recorded as the corresponding character.
(4) The row number and character number of the leaf node corresponding to the screen coordinates of the upper left corner of the selected area obtained through the above calculation is converted to a distance between the character and the first character of the current leaf node, recorded as Y.
In step S6140, the note information is processed.
The client receives the note content input by the user and the corresponding note position (X or X, Y), and associates the note content with the note position, and packages them into a data packet and sends a request for storing the note information to the server.
In step S6150, the note information is stored.
After receiving the request for storing the note information sent by the client, the server stores the note content and the corresponding note position in association.
At this point, the current note storage process ends. The following is a note displaying process.
In step S6160, the reading interface is opened for a second time.
The user opens again the reading interface at the client for the corresponding streaming document.
In step S6170, a request for returning the note position is sent.
The note information display module at the client invokes a server interface, and sends a request for returning note positions of all notes in the streaming document to the note information storage module at the server.
In step S6180, the corresponding note content is displayed at the corresponding note position.
After receiving the request sent by the client for returning note positions of all notes in the streaming document, the note information storage module at the server, in response to the request, returns the note positions of all the notes of the streaming document.
When the note information display module at the client renders the next page during the reading process, if there is a note for that page, a preset marker is displayed at the corresponding not position of the streaming document. For example, an air bubble is displayed at the upper left corner of the corresponding position (if it is a non-text leaf node, the position is the corresponding node X, and if it is a text leaf node, the position is the character corresponding to X, Y).
When the note information display module at the client detects that the user clicks on the air bubble, the server interface is invoked to send a request for the note content of the corresponding screenshot-type note to the note information storage module at the server.
When receiving the request, the note information storage module at the server returns the corresponding note content to the client.
After receiving the information returned by the server, the note information display module at the client may be displayed on the side of the streaming document in a form of a thumbnail, and the user may further click the thumbnail to enter the note display page, and the note content is displayed at the note position corresponding to the screenshot-type note.
In step S6190, the process ends.
When the user does not confirm the selected area, the operation is terminated.
